> It's be nice if it was possible, the last time I looked at any Linux Guys, you're clearly just not hearing me. The issue here isn't whether or not the information would be useful, it's how to get it when you've booted off a FreeBSD installation boot floppy. /var/run/dmesg.boot is created by the clean_var() function in /etc/rc, something which only runs when the system is actually booted. I also don't have dmesg available on the boot floppy and even if I did, I suspect it would have a rather annoying time attempting to do a kvm_open() on a gzipped kernel image. I'm all for ideas on how to fix this, they just need to be something other than the obvious and wrong ideas which first come to mind if you've only spent 5 minutes actually thinking about the problem. Any suggestions which have actually been tested and shown to work will be most welcome. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
